To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

In part 2 of this tutorial (see part 1 here), I’ll show you how to adjust color using a Color Balance Adjustment Layer and Color Lookup Adjustment Layer. If you had trouble understanding how Curves work, then try creating a similar movie look effect using the Color Balance Adjustment Layer. It’s easier to use, and a bit more intuitive, but it does have some limitations. To start, you can disable all the previous Curves layers or start from scratch. 1. Create a Color Balance Adjustmen...

The History of Aspect Ratio

Aspect Ratio is a fundamentally simple concept with a deep and important history. Simply put, the aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of the image to the height. This can be expressed as two numbers like 4×3 or 16×9 or as a decimal such as 1.85 and 2.35 – though these can be written as a ratio as in 2.35:1.

5 Groundbreaking Editing Rules from Oscar-Winning

Legendary editor Anne V. Coates has won two and been nominated for five Oscars (including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007). The nonagenarian editor refuses to use Avid; instead, Coates said she "has her own system" which was custom-made to her preferences—much like the one made for Thelma Schoonmaker—though she refuses to elaborate on the details.

The Pixar Theory, Part 4: Finding Dory

June 17, 2016, 09:48 AM

https://jonnegroni.com/2016/06/17/the-pixar-theory...

Here’s the deal. A few years ago, I proposed a theory that makes the case for how and why every Pixar movie from Toy Story to WALL-E exists in a shared universe with a single, overarching narrative. The case I make is fueled by easter eggs, cameos, story themes, and other clues that make up what I call The Pixar Theory.

HOW TO CREATE PREMIERE PRO EFFECT PRESETS

PLUS: FREE PREMIERE PRO EFFECT PRESETS! "I like having to recreate the same effect on multiple clips in multiple projects." Said no editor ever. That's why Premiere Pro has effect presets so editors can save and re-use customized effects.
